[0065] Specifically, the filter screen support 20 includes a support body 21. The support body 21 is connected to one end of the filter screen 10. Through the filter screen 10, the filtering requirement of the air flow can be achieved, and through the support body 21, the connection requirement between the filter screen 10 and other structures is facilitated. A handle hole 211 is provided on the support body 21. The handle hole 211 is used for gripping. The user can insert into the handle hole 211 to facilitate gripping the support body 21, making the installation and disassembly of the filter assembly 100 more convenient. For example, pushing and pulling the filter assembly 100 on the air conditioner 200 realizes installation and disassembly, so as to facilitate cleaning of the filter screen 10, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0066] In addition, as Figures 3 - 6 、 Figures 14 - 18 shown, the filter screen support 20 further includes a shielding member 22. The shielding member 22 is rotatably provided on the support body 21, so that the shielding member 22 can open or close the handle hole 211. Thus, when the shielding member 22 closes the handle hole 211, through the shielding member 22, dust and the like can be prevented from entering the air conditioner 200 through the handle hole 211 and damaging the air conditioner 200, and dust and the like can be prevented from accumulating at the handle hole 211, which is convenient for cleaning the outside of the air conditioner 200. At the same time, the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner 200 can be ensured, which is beneficial to improving the user experience; when the shielding member 22 opens the handle hole 211, the shielding member 22 is located on the side of the support body 21 facing the inside of the air conditioner 200, so that the user can push the shielding member 22 to open the handle hole 211. The handle hole 211 is convenient to open, which is convenient for the user to operate, and it is avoided that the shielding member 22 is located on the side of the support body 21 facing the outside of the air conditioner 200, which is likely to damage the connection of the shielding member 22 on the support body 21, which is beneficial to extending the service life.

[0067] According to the filter screen assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, a handle hole 211 for holding is provided on the bracket body 21 of the filter screen bracket 20, and the shielding member 22 is rotatably arranged on the bracket body 21 to open or close the handle hole 211. When the shielding member 22 closes the handle hole 211, the shielding member 22 can prevent dust and the like from entering the air conditioner 200 through the handle hole 211 and causing damage to the air conditioner 200, and can prevent dust and the like from accumulating at the handle hole 211, which is convenient for cleaning the exterior of the air conditioner 200, is beneficial to improving the user experience. And when the shielding member 22 opens the handle hole 211, the shielding member 22 is located on the side of the bracket body 21 facing the interior of the air conditioner 200, making it convenient to open the handle hole 211, facilitating user operation, and preventing the shielding member 22 from being easily damaged when located on the side of the bracket body 21 facing the exterior of the air conditioner 200, which is beneficial to extending the service life.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, when the shielding member 22 closes the handle hole 211, the outer wall surface of the shielding member 22 is flush with the outer wall surface of the bracket body 21, which can ensure the consistency of the external contour of the air conditioner 200, is beneficial to improving the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 200, and is convenient for cleaning the shielding member 22, making it convenient to clean the exterior of the air conditioner 200.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figures 14 - 18 shown, an elastic member 30 is provided between the shielding member 22 and the bracket body 21, and the elastic member 30 can push the shielding member 22 to close the handle hole 211. Thus, when installing and disassembling the filter screen assembly 100, the user's finger can push the shielding member 22, so that the shielding member 22 can be rotated to open the handle hole 211 under the action of an external force, and the elastic member 30 undergoes elastic deformation. The user's finger can be inserted into the handle hole 211, which is convenient for the user to install and disassemble the filter screen assembly 100; when the user releases the finger, without an external force acting on the shielding member 22, the elastic member 30 restores its deformation, so that the elastic member 30 can drive the shielding member 22 to close the handle hole 211, making it more convenient for the shielding member 22 to close the handle hole 211, avoiding multiple operations, being beneficial to improving the user experience, and the elastic member 30 can provide a pre-pressure for the shielding member 22 to close the handle hole 211, preventing the shielding member 22 from being opened by a slight external force, ensuring reliable shielding of the handle hole 211 by the shielding member 22, and at the same time making the structure of the filter screen assembly 100 simple, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost. For example, the elastic member 30 can be a torsion spring.

[0070] In some embodiments, such asFigures 14 - 21 As shown, both ends of the shielding member 22 in the length direction (such as Figure 14 the up-down direction shown in the figure) are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 223 and a second rotating shaft 224. A first shaft hole 213 and a second shaft hole 214 are provided on the inner wall surface of the bracket body 21. The first shaft hole 213 cooperates with the first rotating shaft 223, and the second shaft hole 214 cooperates with the second rotating shaft 224, which can realize the connection between the shielding member 22 and the bracket body 21, and ensure that the shielding member 22 rotates reliably on the bracket body 21. The structure is simple and convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0071] In addition, as Figures 14 - 16 shown, an elastic member 30 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 224. One end of the elastic member 30 in the length direction is connected to the shielding member 22, and the other end of the elastic member 30 is connected to the bracket body 21, which can realize the connection between the elastic member 30, the shielding member 22 and the bracket body 21, and ensure reliable connection.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 15 、 Figure 16 and Figure 21 shown, a clamping groove 225 is provided on the inner wall surface of the shielding member 22. One end of the elastic member 30 in the length direction is clamped with the clamping groove 225, which can realize the connection between the elastic member 30 and the shielding member 22, ensure reliable connection, and has a simple structure and convenient assembly, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figures 15 - 18 shown, a hook 215 is provided on the inner wall surface of the bracket body 21. The other end of the elastic member 30 in the length direction is clamped with the hook 215, which can realize the connection between the elastic member 30 and the bracket body 21, ensure reliable connection, and has a simple structure and convenient assembly, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, as Figures 14 - 18 shown, the elastic member 30 is a torsion spring. Both ends of the shielding member 22 in the up-down direction are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 223 and a second rotating shaft 224. A first shaft hole 213 and a second shaft hole 214 are provided on the inner wall surface of the bracket body 21. The first shaft hole 213 is located above the second shaft hole 214. A clamping groove 225 is provided on the inner wall surface of the shielding member 22. A hook 215 is provided on the inner wall surface of the bracket body 21.

[0075] When the shielding member 22 is assembled, the first rotating shaft 223 is first inserted into the first shaft hole 213, and then the torsion spring is inserted into the second rotating shaft 224, the hook 215 at one end of the torsion spring is hooked into the clamping groove 225, and the hook 215 at the other end of the torsion spring is hooked onto the hook 215, and finally the second rotating shaft 224 is clamped into the second shaft hole 214 to realize the assembly of the shielding member 22. When the shielding member 22 and the bracket body 21 are assembled and in a natural state, the shielding member 22 is pushed by the torsion force of the torsion spring to close the buckle hole 211, and the force of the torsion spring is balanced to ensure that the shielding member 22 tightly closes the buckle hole 211 and the buckle hole 211 is reliably blocked.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figures 14 - 17 As shown, the rotation axis of the shielding member 22 is located in the width direction of the buckle hole 211 (for example Figure 4 When the shielding member 22 opens the hand hole 211, the open space of the hand hole 211 can be larger, avoiding the connection between the shielding member 22 and the bracket body 21 from blocking part of the hand hole 211 and affecting the grip of the bracket body 21, making the grip easier.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the support body 21 is further provided with a support assembly 212, and the support assembly 212 includes a first support rib 41, and the first support rib 41 is along the length direction of the buckle hole 211 (for example Figure 14 The first support rib 41 extends in the up and down directions shown in the figure. When the shielding member 22 opens the hand hole 211, the inner wall surface of the shielding member 22 can be against the first support rib 41, so that the first support rib 41 can position and support the rotation of the shielding member 22, thereby preventing the shielding member 22 from excessive rotation and causing damage to the connection between the shielding member 22 and the bracket body 21. It can also prevent the shielding member 22 from being easily deformed in the middle part of the shielding member 22 after rotation due to its long length, thereby ensuring that the shielding member 22 opens the hand hole 211 more reliably. At the same time, the first support rib 41 can improve the structural strength of the hand hole 211, thereby avoiding problems such as deformation of the bracket body 21.

[0078] At the same time, by counteracting the inner wall surface of the shielding member 22 with the first support rib 41, the first support rib 41 can work together with the elastic member 30 to balance the external force exerted on the shielding member 22, thereby protecting the elastic member 30 from damage and helping to extend the service life. In addition, the first support rib 41 can support the shielding member 22 to rotate to a certain angle to provide a fulcrum for the user, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the filter bracket 20.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the support assembly 212 also includes a second support rib 42, and the second support rib 42 is at least arranged on both sides of the length direction of the first support rib 41. Both ends of the length direction of the inner wall surface of the shielding member 22 are provided with protrusions 221. When the shielding member 22 opens the hand hole 211, the protrusion 221 can be against the second support rib 42, and the two ends of the length direction of the shielding member 22 can be positioned and supported, which is beneficial to improving stability. In addition, the first support rib 41 and the protrusion 221 can respectively improve the structural strength of the hand hole 211 and the structural strength of the shielding member 22, thereby avoiding deformation of the bracket body 21 and the shielding member 22, which is beneficial to extending the service life.

[0080] At the same time, by abutting the inner wall surface of the shielding member 22 against the first support rib 41, and the protrusion 221 against the second support rib 42, the first support rib 41 and the second support rib 42 can work together with the elastic member 30 to balance the external force exerted on the shielding member 22, thereby protecting the elastic member 30 from damage and helping to extend the service life. In addition, the first support rib 41 and the second support rib 42 can support the shielding member 22 to rotate to a certain angle to provide a fulcrum for the user, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the filter bracket 20.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the second support rib 42 extends along the length direction of the hand hole 211, and the first support rib 41 is arranged on the side surface of the second support rib 42 facing the hand hole 211, so that the structure of the first support rib 41 and the second support rib 42 is compact, which is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the first support rib 41 and the second support rib 42, can improve the structural strength at the hand hole 211, and is convenient for processing and manufacturing the first support rib 41 and the second support rib 42, which is beneficial to reducing production costs.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, when the shielding member 22 opens the hand hole 211, the side of the first support rib 41 away from the second support rib 42 fits with the side of the shielding member 22 facing the inside of the air conditioner 200, so that surface-to-surface fitting can be achieved, effectively increasing the contact area between the first support rib 41 and the shielding member 22, and ensuring more reliable support and positioning of the shielding member 22.

[0083] In some embodiments, when the shielding member 22 opens the hand hole 211, the side of the second support rib 42 facing the second support rib 42 fits with the side of the protrusion 221 facing the inside of the air conditioner 200, which can increase the contact area and ensure reliable support and positioning of the shielding member 22.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 6 shown, when the shielding member 22 abuts against the support assembly 212, the opening angle of the shielding member 22 is a, and a satisfies: 95° ≤ a ≤ 150°. Thus, the space for the shielding member 22 to open the access hole 211 meets the requirement for the finger to reach in, ensuring that the user can conveniently open the shielding member 22 for operation, and avoiding problems such as structural damage caused by excessive opening of the shielding member 22. At the same time, it can protect the elastic member 30 from being damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life. For example, in some specific embodiments, when the shielding member 22 abuts against the support assembly 212, the opening angle of the shielding member 22 can be 95°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, etc.
